ALL I LOST : THE FIRST HEIR Chapter 87
As Lyra entered the interview room, she found herself in a well-lit space with shiny tiled floors and cream-coloured walls adorned with abstract paintings. The room was spacious, with a large table positioned in the centre, surrounded by comfortable leather chairs. The table was cluttered with stacks of paper, pens, and a laptop. The air carried a sense of tension, almost palpable, as Lyra's nerves heightened at the sight of the seven interviewers sitting around the table. Each interviewer wore a professional attire, and their stern and serious expressions sent a wave of apprehension through Lyra. However, her sister's husband, Jacob, who was one of the interviewers, managed to break the tense atmosphere with a warm smile. His presence reassured her momentarily, providing a flicker of hope that she could make it through the interview successfully. Summoning all her courage, Lyra cautiously walked across the room, her footsteps echoing softly against the floor. She made her way to the

Lyra walked with Jacob to the exit, her heart pounding with disappointment and frustration. She feared and believed she had been rejected for the job she desperately wanted. As she reached the sidewalk, she pulled out her phone and saw the dreaded notification. It was from the law firm, and she knew it held the disappointing news she had anticipated. Too nervous to read the email herself, Lyra handed the phone over to Jacob, the only one she could count on at the moment who had accompanied her to the interview for moral support. Jacob's face fell as he scanned the contents of the email, and Lyra could see the disappointment reflected in his eyes. She snatched the phone back from him, her hands trembling with anger and hurt. Her eyes scanned the email, her heart sinking further with each word. It began with an apology, which did little to console her. Then, the email listed the reasons for her rejection—lack of experience, absence of a bachelor's degree, and the audacious mention of h

Aria sighed as she stepped out of the hospital, grateful for the early end to her shift. She had been looking forward to this evening, wanting to cheer up her sister Lyra after her disappointing day. Lyra had been turned down for a job she had been hoping to get, and Aria wanted to make her favorite dinner to lift her spirits.Glancing at her watch, Aria realized it was already past 9 pm. Lyra should have been home by now, and the thought bothered her. Lyra didn't know anyone in town and had no friends to speak of. Aria's concern for her sister's well-being grew, but then she reasoned that perhaps Lyra had decided to spend time with Jacob, Aria's partner.A few minutes later, Aria's anticipation turned to confusion as Jacob entered the house alone. His expression mirrored her concern, and Aria's heart sank. Something must have happened, she thought, as she approached him."Jacob, where is Lyra?" Aria asked, her voice trembling slightly.Jacob sighed, running a hand through his hair. "

In the early hours of the morning, James was rudely awakened by the growling and grumbling of his hungry stomach. He had only eaten once the day before and had gone to bed with an empty stomach. It had been a difficult night for him, made worse by the looming uncertainty of what lay ahead the next day.

As James listened to the voice on the other end of the line, he couldn’t help but feel a mixture of curiosity and caution. The voice was deep and unfamiliar, yet it held a certain charisma that piqued his interest. His mind raced, trying to connect the dots and figure out who this Santos person was and why he seemed to know about his desperate situation. “I must admit, you’ve caught my attention,” James replied, his voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions within him. “But before we proceed any further, I need to know who I’m speaking with. Who is Santos?” There was a pause on the other end as if the person on the line was weighing his options. Finally, the voice responded, “Santos is someone who can make your problems disappear. Someone who can restore you to your former glory, Mr. Johnson.” James’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. How did this stranger know his last name? Had he been watching him? Questions swirled in his mind, but the allure of a solution to his current pred

It was a typical day, just like any other day for an ordinary person. However, for Santos Rodrigues, things weren’t as pleasant or delightful. It had been a few days since Alonso’s attempt with the duel to prove himself as Orlando, and despite Alonso’s denial of ever being Orlando, Santos knew it was nothing but a lie. He constantly contemplated ways to eliminate Alonso as a threat to his position.Although Santos had doubts about Alonso’s true identity as Orlando, his suspicions were confirmed when he accidentally overheard Debbie’s cheerful conversation on the phone.“Hey sis, guess what?” Debbie exclaimed on the phone. Santos had made an unexpected visit to her and froze in his tracks at her doorstep upon hearing her words.“He’s returned…” She whispered with a mix of delight and excitement on the phone.When the person on the other end of the line inquired about whom she was referring to, she replied, “The man I love has returned.”Santos, not wanting to interrupt, and thinking it
